FT-IR Coupling
Coupling to a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer
More than just the sum of its parts
Especially in the polymer field as well as in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, it can be very useful to have knowledge about the gases that evolve during a process, Curing (Crosslinking Reactions)Literally translated, the term “crosslinking“ means “cross networking”. In the chemical context, it is used for reactions in which molecules are linked together by introducing covalent bonds and forming three-dimensional networks.curing/cross-linking, Decomposition reactionA decomposition reaction is a thermally induced reaction of a chemical compound forming solid and/or gaseous products. decomposition or any other reaction.
With the vacuum-tight thermal balances and simultaneous thermal analysis instruments TG 209 F1 Libra®, TG/STA 449 F3 Jupiter® and TG/STA 449 F1 Jupiter®, TG/STA 449 F5 Jupiter®, STA 2500 Regulus, DIL 402 ExpedisSelect & Supreme, and TMA 402 F1 /F3 Hyperion®, as well as with the dynamic differential calorimeters DSC 404 F1 Pegasus® and DSC 204 F1 Phoenix®, NETZSCH offers you efficient systems for coupling to a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR). The transfer line and the connection adaptors to the furnaces can be heated up to 230°C to prevent condensation of the Decomposition reactionA decomposition reaction is a thermally induced reaction of a chemical compound forming solid and/or gaseous products. decomposition products to the greatest extent possible. For spectra interpretation, extensive gas phase libraries are available.
